The countdown to this years WrestleMania is in full swing. WrestleMania 41 takes place on the weekend of April 19 and 20. 52 (really 55) matches in the history of WrestleMania include women. Diva Dirt will countdown two matches daily to rank all 52 leading up to this years event.
Now onto 24 & 23!
NOTE:It is getting extremely hard to pick the rest of this list and rank them as there are really no bad matches left. Im just throwing that out there!
24. WrestleMania 1
Wendi Richter (w/Cyndi Lauper) def. Leilani Kai (c) (w/Fabulous Moolah) WWF Ladies Championship
Where it all started! And it was a fun start. Cyndi Lauper gave Wendi the motivation she needed and the crowd was loving it. Leilani and Moolah were very much heels and the crowd knew who they were behind and who they wanted to win.
When watching this match back I learned something. I wondered why with Wendi tapping out so much in this match, was that not a thing back then? And it wasnt. Upon some research, the art of tapping out to submit didnt happen until the 90s. It was actually only a verbal quit during submissions during the time of Wendi and Leilani. Maybe I should have known this, but fun to learn it eventually.
23. WrestleMania 34
Naomi won Womens Battle Royal
What a fun match and to have Naomi win this was great. The NXT women in the match was a fun moment and the Naomi was never eliminated was the typical fun moment at the end where someone else thinks they won. In this instance it was Bayley who thought she won by eliminating Sasha Banks. Bring back Battle Royals!
Check back in with us here at Diva Dirt tomorrow for numbers 22 and 21 as the countdown continues!
